With Simple Order API, you integrate one of our full-featured CyberSource API software developer kits (SDKs). We offer a Name-Value Pair (NVP) API that is best for most situations; our SOAP and XML APIs are best for those with experience in these architectures.
You or a hosting provider hosts your secure, customized order form page. When your customer enters an order on your Web site and clicks 'Submit', your system creates an API request. The request contains a digital signature, the order data, and formatting information wrapped in an envelope that defines content rules and format.
After your API request has been transferred to CyberSource, we contact your payment processor for an initial approval and receive the reply in real-time.
CyberSource send the reply data back to you, confirming (or denying) the order.
When using Simple Order API, orders can be viewed in the Business Center, a central location for managing your online payment transactions. You may request that approved transactions be submitted for funding or send your submission requests as you ship merchandise.
